Which mirrors look better to you?

If you compare the JDM ones to other car makers, they seem to be more similar to that which you would see in the Supra and RX7. Just my opinion though. Bryan~ I guess I can assume that your going to go with the USDM mirrors on your build then?

Yeah, no hard feelings, opinions are opinions.

I plan to use the USDM ones, partly b/c I simpliy don't have the JDM ones on hand. I wouldn't mind picking up a set though and take a long look at them in person, and see what it'd look like on my car after my car is put together.

Personally, I was going for the RC clone back when I had mine. I just feel like the JDM mirrors work better with the more bulbous shapes of the RC hood/bumper combination. I also think the USDM mirrors look better with the regular All-trac hood regardless of which front bumper is used.

I guess I am in the minority but I prefer the JDM ones. I like the look and the folding functionality could be useful when parking in tight spaces. And I like the sound they make when they fold in, but I am weird.

Unfortunately a lot of ricer mirrors seem to have been copied from the USDM ones (I'm not sure if they're the first to be like that but it's a pretty old design).

Funny I was thinking the same thing about the USDM ones. I just ordered a set of the JDM ones because I think they dont look as dated and give a cleaner look. I guess well see once I have them on which ones I end up liking more.

I think if the JDM ones were designed better they wouldn't look as bad, but to me it just looks like a USDM mirror that someone took a chunk out of.

I don´t like the USDM ones as they look like aftermarket M3 clones all the kids bolt to their VW and Opel here in Germany. The stock Euro spec mirrors (same form as the JDM ones but without the folding function and angled for LHD ) are more unique and looking more as made out of one piece.
